Recurring Active Region Jets (click on image to see movie)
On December 18, XRT observed an active region that was the site of a C7.6 flare. XRT missed the peak of the event, but observed recurring jet near the active region core around the time of the flare. After the jets erupt, there are brightenings in the overlying loop structures. These events are similar to those studied by Torok, et al. in a recent paper.
